Unique gift for the Beatles connoisseur. This clock features the first/early solo works of John, Paul, George and Ringo, on Apple Records. Surrounding Paul McCartney’s first solo LP (Side One with “Maybe I’m Amazed” showing), there are original-release 45rpm singles of:

John Lennon’s “Imagine”

George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord

Beatles “Let it Be” (their last major single). The song is about Paul’s mum, who died when he was a teen-ager, but it’s also a kind of epitaph as they broke up the band.

Also:

Ringo’s first single Beaucoups of Blues (rare 7”33 1/3 rpm release)

For added dimension, I put hand-cut tiered slices of 45rpm records as ascents on many of my clocks, and you’ll see them on this one in the photo.\

Colliding Vinyl Timepieces are one-of-a-kind clock creations paying tribute to music artists, music styles/eras and record labels … via a collaged display of their actual records. To purchase, contact me at collidingvinyl@gmail.com.

Latest clock is custom for OverTones friend and wonderful photographer Cass Summer. She wanted all California, so the Doors first album anchors it, with Beach Boys and others weighing in around the periphery. And “A Summer Song.” And I’m enjoying the beautiful “mystery meadow” scene in an enlargement from Cass’s work.

This was the simplest clock I’ve ever made. Just Frank on his own Reprise label, framed by a turntable ring from a proper-vintage tabletop phonograph. Still offered 16rpm. If we could just get that ghosted dude out of the reflection.

Dan Nachison procures a Colliding Vinyl Timepiece at our OverTones concert – the clock is my tribute to the British Invasion, with singles by the Beatles (I Wanna Hold Your Hand), Dave Clark Five, Stones, Who, Herman’s Hermits, all on an Animals LP. Dan is a great supporter of our group.

Layered vinyl tiers flank the triangle in Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, the iconic album that kept selling steadlily decade after decade. Jen is the proud purchaser (for a friend) at our OverTones-thrown concert last week.

3D with tiers of LP wedges, and orange vinyl accenting the Warner Bros. “Burbank” record label on this clock for buddy and singing comrade Daniel Graves – a tribute to his favorite group Tower of Power, on the evening last month that we went to see them in Beverly Hills. The Tower needs some repairs – prayers for two members of the group in the hospital after being struck by a train. Not funky.

For music-lovin’ friend Jeff Snyder, last year. Once a news writer, and more recently a communications colleague, we’ve shared new and old music and been to some great shows here in L.A. This string of titles reads like a cryptic, prophetic prognostication. (Deep, deeply deep).
